This paper describes Vista, a visual multiparadigm programming environment. We introduce the notion of processors and networks and discuss their application in the construction of event-driven and data-transformation systems. Further, we give an overview of Vista's object-oriented architecture.<<ETX>>

Class Structure Graphs for Object-Oriented Design and Implementation
TLDR
A language independent representation of systems taking the form of graphs of object-oriented source-code is introduced, so existing implementations can be analysed on different levels of abstraction in order to gain better understanding of a class''s structure as a basis for proper reuse. Expand
VisiTile-a visual language development toolkit
TLDR
The VisiTile toolkit facilitates the specification and implementation of a hybrid class of visual languages that combine data-flow with grammar-based layout that is used as the basis for syntax-directed editing and interpretation of visual programs. Expand
Reducing Cognitive Load by Adding High-Level Semantics to ReactoGraph
to design a new form of the Reactant [13] as the basis of a new visual programming language (VPL), ReactoGraph [12]. ReactoGraph is a domain-specific programming language designed to address the… Expand
FAR: an end-user language to support cottage e-services
TLDR
FAR, an end-user language to offer and deliver e-services and its multiparadigm approach to combining ideas from spreadsheets and rule-based programming with drag-and-drop web page layout devices is presented. Expand
Reduction of Cognitive Load Through the Addition of High-Level Semantics to ReactoGraph
TLDR
This research studies usability problems in ReactoGraph, a visual programming language designed to simplify the development of graphical user interfaces that suffers from complexity in defining message passing, inter-component data flow, and event handling. Expand
Reactant : An Interaction Technique for Unifying the Structural and Behavioral Definition of User Interfaces
reactants onto an interface element. We have created an interface development environment called ReactoGraph that uses the reactant as basis for defining interface behavior. ReactoGraph allows the… Expand
Mulspren: a multiple language programming environment for children
TLDR
A novel programming environment called Mulspren is presented, designed to let children lever their knowledge of English to learn conventional programming constructs---knowledge that could help them when they are older and need programming skills. Expand

STATEMATE: a working environment for the development of complex reactive systems
TLDR
The main novelty of STATEMATE is in the fact that it 'understands' the entire descriptions perfectly, to the point of being able to analyze them for crucial dynamic properties, to carry out rigorous animated executions and simulations of the described system, and to create running code automatically.

TLDR
It is intended to demonstrate here that statecharts counter many of the objections raised against conventional state diagrams, and thus appear to render specification by diagrams an attractive and plausible approach. Expand
Object-oriented software engineering - a use case driven approach
